Advanced-Expert

Whether you charge the steepest lines, carve with race-like precision, hit the biggest jumps or halfpipes; advanced to expert level skis/snowboards are for the more aggressive rider. You will often find the addition of layers of metal, carbon, bamboo, or other stringers in these. These features work to make a stiffer ski/snowboard with more power and rebound.

I purchased these bindings based on the positive reviews and I have not been disappointed. These bindings give me confidence to charge big lines and they won't pop off unnecessarily, while trusting them to release when the time arises.

The first time that they proved themselves was while I was tree skiing (slowly luckily) and my right ski went under a hidden tree branch. The bindings released so effortlessly that I was able to ski on one ski and stop safely. I've heard of similar incidents ending ski seasons where the bindings did not release in a safe manner.

LOOK Pivot 18 Ski Bindings are the best in my opinion. I raced in high school so having a strong and reliable binding was always a must. Pivot 18 din bindings are as good as it gets. Metal construction keeps them working in the worst of days and conditions. No pre-release's but come off when they need to. AAA+

Absolute bomb proof bindings. Never fear the dreaded prerelease common in lesser bindings. These things lock you in tight and provide a great interface with your skis. I've never once come out of them when I didn't want to. And on those times I managed to bite it hard, my ski released perfectly: no weird tweak, no delayed awkward retention, my heel simply fell out of the ski with no issue.

If you ski hard and use the high DIN range these bindings have, get them. They will last longer than the next several skis you attach them to.

These and the orange rossi's are the best bindings on the market right now. might as well save 100 bucks and get the look pivot. These things are indestructable and if you don't want them to release crank up the din and they won't. Buy these and if you weigh more than 160 don't be cheap, go ahead and buy the 18s.
